Abstract

A method includes: determining, by a first terminal device, a first timing of a first measurement signal used by a second terminal device for measurement, where a first network device serving the first terminal device is different from a network device serving the second terminal device; determining, by the first terminal device, a second timing of a second measurement signal used by the first network device for measurement; and sending, by the first terminal device, the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal based on the first timing and the second timing respectively.

Claims (36)

1. A method, comprising:

determining, by a first terminal device, a first timing of a first measurement signal used by a second terminal device for measurement, wherein a first network device serving the first terminal device is different from a second network device serving the second terminal device;

determining, by the first terminal device, a second timing of a second measurement signal used by the first network device for measurement; and

sending, by the first terminal device, the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal according to the first timing and the second timing respectively.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first timing is equal to a downlink receiving timing of the first terminal device.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a timing advance of the second timing relative to the first timing meets:

TA 2-1 =TA 0 , wherein TA 2-1 is the timing advance of the second timing relative to the first timing, and TA 0 is a timing advance of an uplink sending timing of the first terminal device relative to the downlink receiving timing of the first terminal device.

4. The method according claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the first terminal device, first indication information and second indication information from the first network device, wherein the first indication information indicates the first timing, and the second indication information indicates the second timing, and wherein sending, by the first terminal device, the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal according to the first timing and the second timing respectively comprises:

determining, by the first terminal device, the first timing according to the first indication information;

sending the first measurement signal according to the first timing;

determining, by the first terminal device, the second timing according to the second indication information; and

sending the second measurement signal according to the second timing.

5. A method, comprising:

determining, by a first network device, a sending object of a measurement signal of a first terminal device, wherein the first network device serves the first terminal device;

when the sending object comprises a second terminal device, determining, by the first network device, first indication information;

sending the first indication information to the first terminal device, wherein the first indication information instructs the first terminal device to determine a first timing for sending a first measurement signal used by the second terminal device for measurement, and the first network device is different from a second network device serving the second terminal device;

when the sending object further comprises the first network device, determining, by the first network device, second indication information; and

sending the second indication information to the first terminal device, wherein the second indication information instructs the first terminal device to determine a second timing for sending a second measurement signal used by the first network device for measurement.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the first timing is equal to a downlink receiving timing of the first terminal device.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a timing advance of the second timing relative to the first timing meets:

TA 2-1 =TA 0 , wherein

TA 2-1 is the timing advance of the second timing relative to the first timing, and TA 0 is a timing advance of an uplink sending timing of the first terminal device relative to the downlink receiving timing of the first terminal device.

8. A terminal device, wherein the terminal device is a first terminal device, and the terminal device comprises:

a processor;

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions for:

determining a first timing of a first measurement signal used by a second terminal device for measurement;

determining a second timing of a second measurement signal used by a first network device for measurement, wherein the first network device serves the first terminal device and is different from a second network device serving the second terminal device; and

a transmitter configured to send the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal according to the first timing and the second timing respectively.

9. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the first timing is equal to a downlink receiving timing of the first terminal device.

10. The terminal device according to claim 9 , wherein a timing advance of the second timing relative to the first timing meets:

TA 2-1 =TA 0 , wherein

TA 2-1 is the timing advance of the second timing relative to the first timing, and TA 0 is a timing advance of an uplink sending timing of the first terminal device relative to the downlink receiving timing of the first terminal device.

11. The terminal device according claim 8 , wherein the terminal device further comprises:

a receiver configured to receive first indication information and second indication information from the first network device, wherein the first indication information indicates the first timing, and the second indication information indicates the second timing, wherein

the instructions comprise further instructions for determining the first timing according to the first indication information, and determining the second timing according to the second indication information.
